A new book by Michael Nath - Talbot & The Fall: A Comedy with Support. Lewis is mentioned in Chapter 12, p. 100.

The Wyndham Lewis Society @lewisian.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Interesting piece (with text in both English and Spanish), exploring the disturbing ways in which Wyndham Lewis's aesthetic metaphor of the vortex - 'the principle that organizes chaos from within' - anticipates the contemporary algorithmic violence of AI.

An interesting article in this month's Modernist Review, shedding new light on the libel action that Alec Waugh brought against Wyndham Lewis in 1932. The occasion was Lewis's publication of The Doom of Youth - a critical riposte to Waugh's debut novel, The Loom of Youth. @modernistudies.bsky.social

Others have noted that Saied Dai's 'individual and yet archetypal' portrait of Theresa May from 2023 seems indebted to Wyndham Lewis's later style. But the GMB were already mining this strange affinity in 2017, with a 'Maybot' protest seemingly inspired by Lewis's cubist Self Portrait of 1911.

Artist-writer Wyndham Lewis lived in a Toronto hotel (The Tudor) at 559 Sherbourne St. for a while in the 1940s. In his 1954 book 'Self-Condemned', the Tudor appears as "Hotel Blundell" ("a jumble of styles") and Toronto as "Momaco." In this except, Lewis describes the "Momaco" winters.

This mesmerising portrait (1936) of an unknown sitter by Wyndham Lewis with its angular and facetted construction, stems from his allegiance to Cubism and his short-lived Vorticism movement.
